Neon Stripes, Ikat and Polka Dots

I do hope you're all having a marvellous weekend!! It's always over far too quickly, isn't it..?

I wore this to work a little while ago when the weather was still messing us about, i.e. it teased us with some hot days, then got chilly again just as we were getting used to the heat. But it did at least give me an excuse to wear this lovely light blazer I picked up for next-to-nothing in the sale at River Island - I just ADORE the two colours in the stripes together! So yes I'm wearing pink again, and there's yet more pink in the scarf - my first piece in an ikat print (bit late to the party, me).

Did I tell you how much I love the colours in the blazer??? I love them, I do. LOVE them.

Oh this looks amazing Catherine! I love your striped blazer, I really wanted to get my hands on the t-shirt/dress version they sold to. Love how you teamed it with the polka dot top and ikat print scarf, the jeans neutralise and add a certain casual twist! :)

wow, love this outfit Catherine! That blazer is gorgeous. Man would i love a shopping trip with you. that would be so. much. fun! And just so you know i am struggling with your badge!:( there is still a space with your name on it but for some reason when i enter the html code it just comes up with a blank box. Im going to try a different way, ie save the image with your address attached and see if i can upload it that way!! xxx

Hmmm I'll take a look at why that is, Rachel... I know at least one other blogger who's used it without any problem, so I can't tell what's haappened?! Anyway thank you for your lovely comments hun! xoxo

Love, love, LOVE your pattern mixing here! And your nails are absolutely darling. We have had a similar weather situation here in Seattle -stormy yesterday, gorgeous today. Getting dressed has been all about layering, as you have done here. Lastly, that second pic, the close-up is GORGEOUS!!! ~~Sarah

Hi Catherine,New on your blog which I enjoy very much. This mix of pattern is different from what we usually see in the street and I have to say that I love it. It flows. The pink and blue colors are a perfect link. And the scarf... to die for (I am scarf addicted). Thank you for sharing this inspirational look :-)Happy to be one of your new followers. I will also add you on my favorite blog list.All the best from Florida :-)Anne
